I Am Still Dreaming Of Playing In FIFA WC And Olympics: Manisha Kalyan
North East United Football Club: India’s star woman footballer Manisha Kalyan stated that she is dreaming of playing in the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics following India's historic qualification for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup in Australia next year.
Manisha was the cynosure of all eyes at the ASMITA under-13 league for girls here at Nehru Stadium on Friday. The 23-year-old forward, the only Indian footballer to have played in the UEFA Champions League for women, said ASMITA is a “rare platform for young girls to realise their football dreams."
“I am still dreaming of playing in the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics and after we qualified for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup in Australia next year, our belief has been bolstered. You now have a platform like ASMITA and the more quality matches you play, the better you will get,” the 23-year-old Manisha told the eight teams taking part in the Guwahati leg of ASMITA aimed at scouting talent at the grassroots level across India.
